...gangsta rappers have labeled women "hos," enabling that derogatory word to become commonplace? In the good ole days of feminism, Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan would have been as visible and vocal as Jackson and Sharpton. In the current storm, sexism has taken second place to racism. Jean M.

...gangsta rappers have labeled women "hos," enabling that derogatory word to become commonplace?

In the runoff Sarkozy will count on the rest plus Bayrou voters who share his focus on economic liberalization and cutting debt. Royal will pit her softer image against Sarkozy's tougher style. The odds favor Sarkozy, but the race is too close...
